Conclusion
Efforts to reduce the incidence of level crossing collisions have been successful
Society has changed becoming both more risk averse and less self aware
Mitigation approach must change to adapt to the changing risk profile
Increasing rich information base will be used to compliment ALCAM
Initiatives are being pursued in a collaborative fashion with other stakeholders
